A heavy windstorm prevailed on the
lake shores on Friday night, and it is
said to have been one of the most
terrific blows experienced there for some
time. at Garfield, the roof on the ap-
proach to the pavilion, was partially
finished aud this afforded an excellent
chance for theEind.s During the hight
sometime, a gale struck it, and carried
it over into the water, subsequently
washing most of it ashore So1neAdea
of the force of the gale may be gained
when it is learned that the sup
ports of Oregon pine Sx8 inches square,
were broken off close to the
floor of the pier as clean Is one can
snap a match. II ana ssstat all sorry
that.it occurred atthls Time said M {.
Ritter Yesterday. Under the present
cireum stances i5 will not detain Us at
all and we have now adopted plan
of anchorage that will prevent any
repetition of such an occurrence. Ii II
had occurred later II the season, the ef-
feet would have been much more dlsas-
trous, and it might possibly have injured
some one. AS it is. nobody IS hurt, and
our new scheme Will etfectually prevent
any future bloW-oVer." Asked as to
when the new resort would be open to
the public, Mr.. Fenton yesterday said
it was the intention to have the formal
opening on or about the Hath instant.

undoubtedly the same that hired boat from

day mentioned. They remained out until
abJqt.11 so that evening, at which hour they
returned with the boat al tTainsf having
left for the day, they remained here THAI
night. he next morning (Tuesday) they
came to me again for, another boat. and
urged me 10 let them have it. bat I per
su4ded them not to go olt, as L considered
the water too rough to be safe. III then
said something abou. going to ogden on
the next train, but did not do TO- but
remained here all of that d'y, and went
in bathing together that afternoon, appear
ing to be very affectionately inclined, and
impresSing us all with the belief that they
were a neWly-married couple. Where they
remained Tuesday. night do not know, but
saw them board train for Ogden, at
Pennington, "Wednesday morning.
